Variety: Monastrell
Region: Jumilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar)100% Monastrell, aged in American oak for four months. Bright ruby. Powerful, spicy aromas of dark berry preserves and lavender. Fleshy and round on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and blueberry flavors and gaining sweetness with air. Finishes smooth, long and slightly warm. 
My Review: Nose of alcohol with a hint of dark berries. It tasted strongly of oak and dark berries, but not in a bad way. I enjoyed the experience of drinking this wine.
With Food: No
